WEEK 3 - TRIAL DAY TWO

[al2955]

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (3)

saturday TRIAL DAY ONE (34) survivors At 9 AM, a klaxon alarm begins blaring in every area of the ship. The alarm will continue to go off until everyone has gathered in the conference room. Should anyone be running late or avoiding the trial for whatever reason, a robot guide will appear wherever they are and gently but firmly escort them into the room. Once all the living players are present, the conference room doors will lock shut; anyone who wishes to leave for whatever reason will need to ask AL-2955 or one of the robots. Anyone leaving for non-investigative purposes, such as bathroom breaks, will be accompanied by a robot escort. The large round table in the center of the conference room has been set up to help the trial run as smoothly as possible. Three holographic screens hover above the center hollow of the table, visible from every angle. The first screen displays the pictures and profiles of the suspects and victim; the second displays the autopsy report; the third displays a blank word processor. Each of the chairs comes equipped with a virtual keyboard which can be used to type information directly into the third screen, such as theories and updated information; they can also be set into privacy mode, which will transfer whatever notes someone writes directly into their datapad instead of on screen. There's also a tablet function for those who wish to draw charts or pictures on screen. The keyboards will detect the DNA of whoever's using them and record who's typed what - simply press an area of text and the name of whoever wrote it will pop up. The area to the right of the table has been temporarily sectioned off with a glass partition and sliding door for hygienic issues. Inside, the victim's body has been laid out on a metal autopsy table, covered by a plastic sheet. Above it is a holographic screen that displays a close-up color photograph of the body when it was found. A hand sanitizer dispenser has been considerately attached to the wall nearby for anyone getting up close and personal to the body. To the left of the conference table is a display case. Any evidence found during the investigation will be carefully collected by the robots at some point the previous day and placed here before the trial starts. Beneath each piece of evidence is a small tablet where players can type up information, such as a short description or where it was found. There are also empty areas left over for any evidence that may be found during the trial. The shelf at the very bottom of the case has been reserved for an extra rulebook in case anyone needs it. Food will be served throughout the day by the robots, who will take individual orders whenever you're feeling hungry. The trial will end at 9:00 PM, at which point all players will have been expected to cast their vote.

Cloth update!

[laptopper]

So, since I'd mentioned that I thought the cloth had been a part of incriminating evidence that had subsequently been incinerated, I recruited the assistance of the cat fetishist to verify-- and Eureka, it contains the faint scent of blood.

[thanatosincarnate]

Seeing as the killer tried to hide that bloodstained fabric in the first place, it could be to cover that they were injured in the altercation.

{ It's also black and bloodstains don't show up easily, but he figures it's also because to hide that they were wearing something stained with blood in the first place. }

[laptopper]

Then we'd have to check our suspects thoroughly. It seems more likely, however, that the blood could have been the victim's, and of course, having the victim's blood on their clothes isn't exactly a mark of innocence.

[thanatosincarnate]

{ He'll nod. }

Even though black material wouldn't show a bloodstain like others, it'd still be obvious if someone went through their clothing during a room search and the like.

Either way, it's always best to be thorough.

{ That moment when he forgets he's a suspect. It's. Whatever. He doesn't care, check him too. }

[isodope]

Maybe the luminol would come in handy then?

[thanatosincarnate]

That could be a good idea.

{ He seems to think for a moment... }

If the killer managed to get blood on any other sets of clothing they were wearing. It also seems like there were no clothing that was found ripped in the other suspects' rooms. It could be they decided to wear the ripped clothing on them underneath their usual.

[isodope]

If that's so...then it would need to be Lavi. Machias was knocked out and his clothes were taken off when he got examined for injuries.

[isodope]

So we should check to see who has some fabric ripped off their clothes.

[laptopper]

... [ Wait. ]

Did any of the room searches turn up anything like that?

[isodope]

Doesn't seem like it, at least not from Lavi or Machias. And if that's so... they might still be wearing whatever article it came from.

[laptopper]

...

Or they have spares. Lavi's bandana is pretty dark, isn't it?

[isodope]

And it's a small piece of fabric too. Easy to burn and no one would miss it.

[laptopper]

He just has to toss on a fresh one, and no one's the wiser.

[ Well, then. ]

[isodope]

Yeah... shit. I didn't want to think it before, but it's starting to make more sense.

[laptopper]

We had to think it was one of them, didn't we?

[isodope]

Yeah, but then the question is who landed the final blow?

I mean, did Allen die of his wounds and that means its Machias? Or did Lavi put him out of his misery and then try to kill Machias?

[parodeity]

Does Lavi have all of his bandannas, or whatever?

[ look

he still thinks it's lavi yes ]

[laptopper]

That's something you'd have to ask him.

[ but look who also suspects. ]

[parodeity]

Somehow I feel like if he doesn't he ain't gonna share with the class.

[chiseler]

Thanks for checking in on it. [But suddenly that answers that even if he doesn't entirely like the answer.] Too bad we can't tell where the fabric came from so we can compare it to everybody's clothes but we're further than we were with that.

[laptopper]

Well. A few of us were thinking a bandana might work.

[chiseler]

[...] One of Lavi's, you mean. [Sigh.] Dave and I'll figure out how to get one and let you know how it goes.
